About us
Hands-On HR provide Virtual HR consulting tailored for small to medium-sized companies that don’t have the luxury of an in-house Human Resources generalist team. With over two decades of hands-on HR experience across diverse South African industries, we partner with progressive business owners, and decision-makers, helping you navigate your human matters as they arise.
We also work with Individuals, guiding them in their personal development and careers. We offer leadership development working with individuals, and human resource professionals, eager to get to know themselves better, to align their work and life with their human design and live their true essence. #HRinGoodHands
